MY HAMSTER! Please help!!?

Question

I was holding my hamster today and I noticed this HUGE lump on the side of her. It looked like a tumor. I have no idea what it is! I am really worried! Have any of you ever seen this type of thing on your hamsters? Also, I've only had her for 5 months. I'm really scared! Do you think that it is cancer?

Answer 1

take it to the vet. hamsters are prone to tumors.

Answer 2

It could possibly be a cyst. Take your hamster to your vet. No one could give you a definitive answer from the vague description you've provided.

I hope everything works out.

Answer 3

Take your hamster to the vet and find out.

Answer 4

Saddly, its probably a tumor.  unless u have pictures, the only real way to tell is by taking her to the local vet for x-rays...  im sorry whatever happens. But, it could just be a bump, tick, lump, or somthing else like that. check it again to make sure its not a tick...  hope shes ok!

take it to a vet and mybe it has a musle thing

Answer 6

It could be a tumor. I have to hamster and 1 has a tumor on his sac and the other on  his "belly button". I'm  a veterinary technician and vet bills can be expensive. X-rays are out of the question, you cant restrain a hamster for x- rays. Hamsters only live for 2-3 years, so just give your hamster the best life you can.
